23 X-Rays Of Pregnant Animal Bellies That We Can’t Decide Are Cute Or Creepy

It's a common thing among humans to share pictures of babies still in the womb. However, even if you think you've seen it all, these X-ray pictures of pregnant animal bellies is something that will make you say 'OMG'!

Nature is full of interesting facts! Did you know that when it comes to pregnancy, opposums have it the easiest - it takes only 14 days, whereas elephant females spend up to 23 months being pregnant. The Guinness World Record for most puppies in a litter is 24 pups, and MALE seahorses give birth to an average of around 200 hatchlings.

Working with animals I can tell you, this doesn't happen to EVERY animal. It's done shortly before the due date, usually just the one time, to get a baby count. Some animals have issues birthing and a baby or two won't come out. Knowing the count beforehand avoids a situation where they get left in, die, and start to rot inside the mother causing sepsis and other issues. Knowing there's 5 babies and only 4 came out tells the doctor to either try to reach for it and assist birth it, or to do a c section. Household animals lose many instincts they're supposed to have and require more human help than farm or wild animals. The levels are incredibly different from humans as well, they're not nearly as high. Also, if a doctor deems an xray as medically necessary, they will give a woman one, but take extra precautions to protect mom. It's the same for animals as well. They don't just give them willy nilly for the fun of it.

Ok if pregnant women of human species can't get xrays while pregnant due to the dangers of the radiation rays to the fetus, then why in the fuck are we xraying pregnant animals? Principals and morals people....yall apparently captured them long enough for xrays so why not just do ultrasounds?
